The following is missing: 1. At which point in time the Maven artifacts are being released from the staging repository, and how? I guess you do it it shortly after "svn mv dev->release", a day before the announcement. https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc7.0.x/trunk/res/maven/README.txt says [[[ 3 - include the repository in the VOTE thread 4 - in https://repository.apache.org/index.html#stagingRepositories release it ]]] I think 4 actually releases the artifacts. (Thus a step is missing: wait for the vote to pass). 2. Bump version number preparing for the next release. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1500094 3. Add release date to changelog.xml (The same date as in announcement at tomcat.apache.org/index.html) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1500008 4. Add version number in Bugzilla.
